Re: 2018 AFL Draft

Yeah, seems stupid to me, I'd want it to be at least the first round. Can only assume they want a 2-3hr type draft show for the first night and then come back during the day for the second part. Given that in the last few years the top 10 picks have been made about an hour before the draft itself starts, it's basically just a jumper presentation ceremony for the non-finalists.

Re: 2018 AFL Draft

Would love it if the U18 carnival had more ways to watch it live and if the draft combine, or at least the skills/fitness part of it also had coverage. Could use the downtime between activities to do in depth profiles of some of the potential draftees (starting with most likely to be drafted). Would then also allow new draftees to have a higher profile, which might allow them to earn sponsorship deals in the first couple of years. The main negative of this system is that with higher profile usually comes higher pressure.
